CommentsThis program is offered on both the Carleton University and University of Ottawa campuses in the The Ottawa-Carleton Institute for Electrical and Computer Engineering school. This degree is also offered as a Master of Engineering.
Master of Applied Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering
Academic titleMaster of Applied Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering
Course descriptionThe Institute offers two master's level programs. One with thesis the other one with a report. The Master of Applied Science (M.A.Sc.) program requires that the student completes graduate courses plus a thesis. The thesis is the major component of the student's program. This program may be completed either on a full-time or on a part-time basis. A full-time student usually requires 20-24 months to complete the program. Note that for those students intending to go on to Ph. D. studies, M. A. Sc. is the correct choice.
The Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) program requires that the student completes nine graduate courses, plus submit a report on an engineering project. The engineering project differs from a thesis in scope, and need not represent original research.
The requirements for course work are specified in terms of credits: one credit = one hour/week for one term. Subject to the approval of the departmental chair, a student may take up to half of the course credits in the program in other disciplines (e.g., Mathematics, Computer Science, Physics).
Master's Degree by Thesis
Eighteen course credits plus thesis Master's Degree by Course Work
Twenty-seven course credits plus a project (nominally six credits) Cooperative Master's Degree by Thesis
Eighteen course credits plus a thesis Cooperative Master's Degree by Course Work
Twenty-four course credits plus two projects (each conducted in one work term)
Participation in the cooperative master's program is subject to acceptance by a suitable sponsoring organization.
